What was the Ashley Madison website known for?

The Ashley Madison website was infamously known as a platform that facilitated extramarital affairs. It operated under the slogan "Life is short. Have an affair," directly targeting individuals seeking discreet romantic encounters outside their marriages or committed relationships. The site gained significant notoriety in 2015 when it was the target of a high-profile cyber attack. Hackers breached its security systems and leaked the personal information of millions of users, including names, email addresses, and payment details, leading to widespread privacy concerns and public uproar. This scandal brought considerable attention to issues of cybersecurity, privacy in the digital age, and the moral implications of the service Ashley Madison provided.
